According to a report in the Mirror, Brown is hoping to negotiate a loan deal with a view to it becoming a permanent switch now that the Ukrainian is back in the country having completed a similar loan move in Germany.

Having failed to make much of an impact in his first season at Anfield, Voronin spent last term with Hertha Berlin.

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez is understood to have told the 29-year-old he will be given more chances next season but without the guarantee of regular starts Voronin could well be tempted by a move to Hull.

Brown has been somewhat unlucky so far this summer with transfer targets Frazier Campbell, Michael Owen and Marc-Antoine Fortune all opting to join other clubs.

Talks with Fulham for striker Bobby Zamora are on going after the London-based club accepted a £5million fee for the former West Ham player.

His arrival would see him reunited with former teammate Jimmy Bullard who, having made just one substitute appearance for Hull since his arrival from Craven Cottage in January, has said he is confident of making a return to action in October.

It will be welcome news for the club who had originally been told not to expect the midfielder to return much before Christmas.

Bullard picked up a knee injury in his club debut and suffered cruciate ligament damage as a result.
